Enabling High Availability and Data Consistency Features

The fault tolerance and the high-availability features of Greenplum Database can be configured.

Important: When data loss is not acceptable for a Greenplum Database cluster, master and segment mirroring must be enabled. Without mirroring, system and data availability is not guaranteed. For information about master and segment mirroring, see About Redundancy and Failover.

For information about the utilities that are used to enable high availability, see the Greenplum Database Utility Guide.
